Police said the child also spoke about his mother's boyfriend, Jeremy McMullen, and his blue backpack full of "green stuff". The child told police Collins would drive McMullen around to drop the "stuff" off, and according to the child, McMullen would return to the car not with the backpack, but with money.

Police said they returned the boy to his home and spoke with Collins. Officers said Collins agreed to let them search the home, where they found a blue backpack filled with multiple baggies of a green substance consistent with marijuana. Police said they also discovered multiple baggies containing Xanax bars.

Investigators said Collins and McMullen were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.
